On May 6th, the reporter learned from the Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau that, with the attention and support of the party committees at different levels and government, the culture and tourism market in Sanmenxia was stable, peaceful, safe and in good order during the May Day holiday this year, which received 517,100 tourists and the total avenue reached 148 million yuan.

The May Day holiday was the first major holiday since the normalization of epidemic prevention and control. The culture and tourism reception places strictly implemented the epidemic prevention and control measures, no major quality complaints and safety incidents occurred. The goal of “health, safety and harmony” was successfully achieved.

Epidemic control was carried out strictly to guarantee safety. All the scenic spots and museums in Sanmenxia were limited open, open through booking and open in order. All A grade tourist attractions received no more than 30% tourists of the approved maximum carrying capacity. Different time period booking system was promoted to prevent the gathering of people. Regulate the tour order and optimize the sightseeing route to avoid the gathering of tourists caused by the unreasonable route. Strengthen patrolling and guide the tourists to improve safety protection. Publish the scenic spot reopening management measures, epidemic prevention and control guidelines and other information through the official websites and notice boards.

The short-distance self-driving trip became the first choice. The superior geographical location, abundant tourism resources and good epidemic prevention and control situation attracted tourists from surrounding cities such as Zhengzhou and Luoyang to make special trips to experience the beautiful mountains waters of Sanmenxia. The number of tourists of farm hotels and special homestays experienced a massive surge.

Leisure tourism was favored. Many places launched leisure holiday products such as village trip with rich cultural connotation and comfortable hot spring trip. Enjoying beautiful environment and fresh air, Dianzi Village in Shanzhou District, Wayaogou Village and Wenyu Village in Lushi County attracted many tourists to look for coolness, appreciate azaleas, pick cherries to experience the leisurely contentment of “returning to the garden”.

The preferential measures stimulated the vitality. Shanzhou Silo-Cave launched the experience projects such as grass printing, paper cutting and Chengni inkstone making. The Grand Canyon in the Western Henan, Flower Park in Western Henan, Tanghe Spring and the Yellow River Red Canyon launched many preferential and convenient services, stimulating people’s enthusiasm for travelling, which speeded up the reopen of culture and tourism market in Sanmenxia.

Market supervision built the defense line. In order to do well the culture and tourism work during the holiday, the Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau strengthened the security enforcement efforts and conducted supervision and patrolling of safe production and epidemic control and prevention of places including A grade tourist attractions, star grade hotels, cultural relics and ancient buildings to guarantee the safety of tourists and zero accident and zero complaint in the culture and tourism market.
